When Renting Floor Cleaning Equipment Makes Sense (and Saves Dollars)
When it comes to managing floor care cleaning projects, renting commercial floor cleaning equipment can be a very cost-effective business practice for companies both large and small.
For many business and property owners, the high prices of quality industrial floor care equipment are outside their budgets, leaving them to use low-quality, subpar machines that aren’t able to adequately meet the cleaning needs of their facility. Renting floor care equipment offers cost-effective solutions in more ways than you may realize…
4 Ways Rentals Save You Money!
Service, Repair and Maintenance Savings.
When you choose to rent, the equipment rental company – not you – is responsible for maintaining the equipment in optimal working condition, saving you money.
Plus for those times you need back-up equipment, rentals minimize down time.
Reduced Overhead Costs.
When not in use, equipment you own must be safely stored, often occupying valuable storage space that could be put to better use. And there’s the cost of transporting equipment to a job site, which requires manpower and a truck or trailer. Rentals eliminate the majority of these costs, and can also be delivered directly to the job site.
Plus for those times you have a rush job, rentals can be brought in to keep things running right.
Rightsizing Your Equipment Needs.
Different jobs require different equipment for the best results. Choosing a rental over owning delivers project flexibility.
Plus you can change your equipment rental use to align with the actual job.
When You Need It, Where You Need It.
Where equipment needs are seasonal or temporary, or are even highly specialized on a case-by-case basis, rentals offer the flexibility to perfectly match equipment inventory to the actual equipment need.
Plus an expert rental company delivers expertise and training to ensure you are able to safely operate the equipment.

Which Is Better: Gas or Electric Pressure Washer?
Choosing between a gas or electric pressure washer can be a challenge, especially if you’re unsure which one best suits your cleaning needs. Each type offers unique benefits, making them ideal for different applications. Let’s break down the pros and cons to help you decide which pressure washer is right for you.
Gas Pressure Washers
Gas pressure washers are powerful, versatile tools designed for heavy-duty cleaning tasks.
Benefits:
- High Power: Gas pressure washers typically offer higher PSI (pounds per square inch) and GPM (gallons per minute), making them perfect for tough jobs like stripping paint or cleaning large outdoor areas.
- Mobility: Without the need for an electrical outlet, gas models are portable and can be used in remote areas.
- Durability: Designed for demanding tasks, they’re often built with robust materials that can withstand frequent use.
Considerations:
- Noise Levels: Gas models are louder, which may be a drawback in residential neighborhoods.
- Maintenance: They require regular maintenance, including fuel refills and oil changes.
- Weight: These machines are heavier and less compact than electric models.
Electric Pressure Washers
Electric pressure washers are ideal for lighter, more routine cleaning tasks around the home.
Benefits:
- Ease of Use: Simply plug them in, and you’re ready to go. They’re lightweight, compact, and easier to store.
- Low Maintenance: Electric models don’t require fuel or regular maintenance, making them a convenient option.
- Quieter Operation: Perfect for residential areas, they operate with minimal noise.
Considerations:
- Lower Power: Electric models typically offer less PSI, making them less suitable for heavy-duty tasks.
- Limited Reach: Their reliance on electrical outlets means you’re limited by the length of the cord.
Which One Should You Choose?
Your decision should depend on your cleaning needs:
- Choose a Gas Pressure Washer if you need a powerful machine for large, tough jobs like cleaning driveways, decks, or commercial equipment.
- Choose an Electric Pressure Washer for smaller tasks such as washing cars, cleaning patios, or maintaining outdoor furniture.

Is Your Wastewater Discharge pH a ‘Red Tag’ Risk?
When did you last test your wastewater discharge pH?
If you have any form of wastewater being discharged, whether from manufacturing & production to cleaning & sanitizing practices – such as the wastewater coming from pressure washing your equipment and vehicles – your business may be subject to both local and State Water Board wastewater discharge regulations. Outside testing is increasing, and violators can be ‘red tagged’, which can result in having to suspend operations and potential fines. There are ways you can avoid the risk of the ‘red tag’.
Through the Water Discharge Requirements Program (WDR), California State and local Water Board agencies monitor and limit the levels of industrial wastewater contaminants a facility is allowed to discharge into sewers and waterways. And part of the way they assess this is through pH testing.
Acidic or Alkaline?
Wastewater discharge management is about keeping untreated pollutants out of groundwater and sewers through responsible practices. To comply with pH discharge limits, commercial production and manufacturing industries are required to implement a wastewater pretreatment or disposal program. pH tests assess whether your wastewater falls within an approved range – usually pH 6-10. The most preferred is pH 7 – neutral. A pH lower than 7 is acidic, higher is alkaline.
Did you know?
Wash water from equipment washing is considered industrial waste water. Any industrial waste water can not go into storm sewer, ditch, or ground. You should know your local regulations: there will usually be a limit of 100 ppm oil and grease, as well as limits on pH, solids, and BOD in which case a discharge system can be used. Otherwise you will need to recycle or evaporate the water. Discharge into a septic tank is usually not allowed, but may be possible if the water is treated first and discharge volume is accounted for and monitored.
What’s a ‘Red Tag’?
Failure to comply with WDR program’s regulations can result in your business operations being suspended, known as being ‘red tagged’. The California Health and Safety Code permits the local implementing agencies and the State Water Board to affix red tags to any hazardous substance underground storage tank (UST) system. This law also permits them to issue a written directive to empty the noncompliant UST system as soon as possible.
We can help you to comply and to avoid being red tagged.
Contact us to schedule a free pH test to assess if you’re waste water discharge is a problem, and recommend what steps you should take to resolve it.
We provide companies with cost- effective wastewater management equipment solutions to help resolve discharge issues and achieve pH discharge compliance. We carry a wide range of equipment including custom built systems. Contact us now
Clean on the Go Anywhere, Anytime!
Pressure washer trailers provide the benefits of mobility for easy transport to job sites, versatility for diverse applications, efficiency with high-pressure and cold or hot water cleaning, and freedom from having to plug-in with cordless power and onboard water tanks for remote operation.
We can put together the right mobile cleaning trailer that’s right for your needs. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but a few key components remain the same:
- Trailer: Single or double axle trailer with a sturdy frame, wheels and a towing hitch. For added weather protection, start with an enclosed truck or van.
- Pressure Washer: Choose a high-pressure washer with a powerful engine and high-pressure pump with a heater for hot water industrial cleaning. For remote sites without access to a power source, choose a pressure washer with a gas or diesel engine.
- Water Tank: A large-capacity tank to store water, enabling the pressure washer to be used in locations without direct water access.
- Accessories: To facilitate a variety of tasks, equip your cleaning rig with high-pressure hoses, mounted hose reels, extra nozzles, wands, foam cannons, detergent tanks, tool boxes and more.
And if you’re looking for pre-built trailers, we’ve got those too!
We use only the best brands for our custom and pre-built trailers:
Hotsy, Sioux, Mi-T-M, Karcher and other brands from which to choose the right components.
Let’s Talk! Call or contact us to discuss how we can build the cleaning trailer you’ve always wanted.
A Quiet Pressure Washer?
During our recent demos of the new Tuffy Powerload® Battery-Powered Mobile Hot Water Pressure Washer, we were surprised – and so were our customers. Yes, it can run all day on a single charge, yes, it can be plugged into a standard outlet, and yes, its powerful cleaning pressure will scrape labels off barrels and gunk off sidewalk.
But what was really surprising? Just how quiet it is. That such a powerful pressure washer could be quiet added to its versatility, and allows it to be used in buildings, parks, schools and worksites without the noise. But don’t take our word for it. Ask us about scheduling a free demo to learn more about just how hard – and quietly – the Tuffy will work for you.
Can We Get You All Steamed Up?
Steam is hot!! And it does a business good – in so many ways. From improved cleaning and sanitation to tackling everything from sterilizing soil to sanitizing tanks and barrels, steam is incredibly versatile. And today’s forward-thinking companies, from wineries to medical facilities to municipalities, are taking notice. So how can you get steamed up?
Do you know all of Steam’s super powers?
- Steam kills germs, viruses, and bacteria. You may not be able to see viruses, bacterias, molds, mildews and other potentially infectious pathogens with your naked eye, but it’s everywhere around you. Because of steam’s high temperatures (over 212 F), it penetrates surface pores, and removes dirt, debris, bacteria, and other tiny elements with hot vapor molecules, that are able to kill even the strongest pathogens like E. Coli and Salmonella.
- Steam is the best degreaser. When steam is propelled through a nozzle, it cleans grease better than any other cleaning solution. Steam can penetrate even porous surfaces to help get in deep for better cleaning and lift grease off of just about anything. Whether grease is on the exterior of machinery or appliances, or is stuck in gears, on hoses, in difficult to reach places or more, grease can get in there and get the job done.
- Steam is chemical free. Instead of using chemicals to clean, steam uses water alone, so it doesn’t cause any chemical harm to the environment or to employees.
- Steam saves money. It gets the job done faster using less water. Using steam can reduce water use by over 90%, saving a company money, and supporting an eco-friendly business environment. Plus, the reduced runoff with steam cleaning means less reclamation to deal with; many big jobs will require that a company reclaim the runoff water to conform to EPA regulations.
Steam comes in different shapes
Steam has been harnessed into a variety of different types of equipment to support companies from food and beverage production to automotive and agricultural (and everything in between). Steam even comes in ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ options.
